Italian Strombolli with LUPETTA

When LUPETTA sent me a selection of their products to try I knew I what I wanted to make. Having made a rather tasty wholemeal wreath recently, I had also spotted a Stromboli recipe on the Baking mad website. I changed the stuffing to suit my tastes and we used the Lupetta olive oil and balsamic vinegar as a dip for the bread too.

I started by making the bread. Here I used 500g of strong white flour, a packet of Allison's yeast, 2tsp salt, 1tsp caster sugar, 50ml of LUPETTA Olive oil and 300ml of warm water. I mixed this altogether. kneaded for 5 minutes and then left it to rise.

For the stuffing, I sliced some orange pepper and red onion and fried this in a pan to soften.

I rolled the bread into a rectangle and placed the peppers, onions, Lupetta semi dried cherry tomatoes, black olives and half fat mozzarella in the middle.

I then folded over the bread and cooked for around 30 mins at 200C.

I served the bread with a balsamic vinegar and olive oil dip and macaroni cheese.

I really enjoyed the products we received and LUPETTA have kindly offered one of my readers the chance to win a selection of their products too. Just complete the Gleam entry below. Good Luck!

Well I need to make your bread, but so as to not be seen as an easy answer. I would like to use the sun dried tomatoes, with mozzarella, basil and fresh tomatoes on a puff pastry base for a summer tart

I'd love to try the olive oil, and I would make the Stromboli dough that you made, but instead of filling it with vegetables as you did, I'd make a dessert variation with peaches, fresh black cherries and strawberries.

It would probably be Pasta and I would do a pasta bake.I would like to attempt a Stromboli but I have to ab it that I'm not the best cook.Hey ho,I can't be good at everything.My husband tells me I have hidden talents,well they're very well hidden as even I can't find them x

I'd use the sundried tomatoes and pasta. I'd heat some olive oil in a pan, add thinly sliced smoked ham cook for a few mins then add the chopped sundried tomatoes and some pine nuts and heat through. Serve over past - it's quick and delicious!
